1   The LORD is king; let the peoples tremble!            He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!  2   The LORD is great in Zion;            he is exalted over all the peoples.  3   Let them praise your great and awesome name.            Holy is he!  4   Mighty King, lover of justice,            you have established equity;       you have executed justice …
